Crazy with Clay!

Crazy with Clay! I loved this project clay pots and other similar items are just some of the artifacts left behind by many cultures from the past. Different civilization created them with slightly different materials that could be found in their region but one thing they all had in common was beauty. Many of them were painted or had carvings in the clay. These were significant to them and their culture much like the paw print painted on my clay coil pot. The paw print is significant to me because my high school mascot was the greyhounds and my collage mascot is a wolf. Also the majority of my pot is purple because my favorite color is purple. I would definitely use this project to incorporate into a history lesson on ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians. We could then decorate the outside with hieroglyphics.
